The Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces and Society 70 Years Later
This article provides an account of the founding, growth, and success of the Inter-University Seminar on Armed Forces & Society (IUS), a long-established professional organization for those studying the military and war. How IUS has thrived invites explanation. Two theoretical themes guide our effort: first, the life cycles of organizations literature, and two, a complementary focus on the professional-career life cycles of IUS's participants. To…
Military Sociology
This textbook introduces the reader to the field of military sociology through narrative reviews of selected key studies in the discipline. The book provides a guided introduction. In each chapter, the authors set the stage and then immerse the reader in Spotlights – that is, descriptions of essential studies that inform the discipline of military sociology. The goal is to afford readers a ready pathway into how sociologists and social scientists…
Military Sociology
New wine, new bottles, or both? Social science contributions to thinking about and reorganizing for irregular warfare
The U.S. military is designed to take on a similarly constructed foreign military located across some line of demarcation. The goal of such conventional warfare is to incapacitate or annihilate the enemy military, whereupon victory is achieved – a task for which the U.S. military has no peer on the current world scene or the foreseeable future. However, the U.S.'s adversaries since the end of the Cold War have not been conventional forces, as evi…
The Deployment Experiences of Ft. Carson's Soldiers in Iraq
William Lind has argued that the U.S. military is improperly configured and trained to fight 'fourth-generation' wars, that is, ones in which one of the participants is a nonstate actor and where the strategy, tactics, and battlefield are unconventional. This position has slowly gained acceptance among U.S. Army and Marine commanders, who have struggled to adapt to fourth-generation realities on the ground in Iraq. Drawing on oral-history and foc…
Psychological Contracts in two U.S. Combat Units in Iraq
U.S. soldiers deploying to Iraq in 2003 were told that the war was necessary to rid Saddam Hussein of weapons of mass destruction and had expected to fight a near-peer enemy using conventional tactics. Instead, they encountered a very different battlefield and, to date, no weapons of mass destruction have been found. This paper focuses on this apparent violation of soldiers' expectations. We analyze oral histories collected from two units of Ft. …
Vietnam Veterans Since the War
The Politics of Readjustment
Veterans of all wars face a demanding task in readjusting to civilian life. Vietnam veterans have borne an additional burden, having returned from a controversial war that ended in defeat for the United States and South Vietnam. To address this situation, leaders among the Vietnam veterans and their allies formed organizations of their own to articulate their problems and extract concessions from a reluctant Congress, Federal agencies, and courts…

PTSD and Agent Orange
Two major controversies have marked the readjustment of Vietnam veterans to civilian life. The first surrounds the introduction of the diagnosis, Posttraumatic Stress Disorder, into the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual. The second concerns the debate over harmful effects on veterans of an herbicide widely used by the U.S. military in Vietnam, Agent Orange. Following a constructivist approach to social problems …

PTSD in DSM-III
The American Psychiatric Association published the third edition of its Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM-III) in 1980. Unlike DSM-II, it included the listing “post-traumatic stress disorder” (PTSD). The PTSD diagnosis is the product of a concerted effort to reintroduce war neurosis into the official psychiatric nomenclature. This paper tells the sociological story of who put PTSD in DSM-III and how they did it
Competing Paradigms in the Assessment of Latent Disorders
The use of the herbicide Agent Orange in Vietnam has sparked controversy and heated debate. The controversy revolves around the individuals and interest groups who advance and oppose the claim that exposure to the herbicide has caused high rates of cancer among Vietnam veterans and birth defects in their children. In this paper, I identify the protagonists, explore the claims-making activity, and review the varieties of evidence put forth in the …

The Fertility Related Behavior of Mexican American Adolescents
Data from a clinic sample of pregnant adolescents are analyzed for differences in fertility related variables between Mexican American and non-Mexican. The independent variables are birthplace, ethnicity, and exposure to U.S. culture of Mexican and non-Mexican adolescents. The dependent variables are talking about sex, pregnancy, birth control, hearing about birth control, and use of birth control. The data support the hypothesis that in the proc…

A Dynamic Analysis of Migration
This paper examines the utility of viewing migration in the context of work careers and family life cycles. We do this by studying migration as a discrete state, continuous time process. We find that the inverse relationship between age and migration is due almost completely to the effects of family life cycle and work career variables. Further, we find that job- or locationspecific resources, prestige and wage deter migration

Wanted and Unwanted Pregnancy in Early Adolescence
Data presented here from a university clinic for unwed pregnant early adolescents suggest two paths to pregnancy: (a) some females, though unmarried, apparently want to become pregnant and have a child; (b) others, who do not want a child, nonetheless become pregnant due to unforeseen circumstances. We report some critical differences in reproductive behavior between those who wanted to get pregnant and those who did not. Implications are develop…

Unemployment and Political Partisanship
This paper contains an analysis of political partisanship in a sample of persons receiving unemployment compensation during the most pronounced recession in this country since the Depression. Partisanship is defined to include both ideological beliefs and support for a political party. No relationships are found between characteristics of unemployment episodes and political partisanship. Predictors of political partisanship drawn from studies of …
